apositivelife4me 189 Posted April 15, 2018 Why Mexico? Don't you understand that it is a terrible place? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jen-canada 4 Posted April 15, 2018 Why Mexico? Don't you understand that it is a terrible place?It’s not that terrible of a place and I’ve done extensive research on the facilities there and have talked to other people who have gone to the same place. It’s highly rated and recommended also getting approval in Canada takes 2-3 years and I’m not waiting any longer to get this done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RapidFirePickle 119 Posted April 15, 2018 May 2 gastric bypass. i'm nervous because I have to travel 400 miles from home to have the surgery, and then stay there in housing until my post-op travel clearance on May 8, so I'll have to plan to bring everything I need with me unless I want to shop there.

Frustr8 7,886 Posted April 16, 2018 Where are you having your surgery at? That's quite a distance to travel. Now you be very careful, have a smooth surgery and I hope you'll heal quickly and well. Give us a report on how things went. okay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Divadee06 5 Posted April 16, 2018 I hope your journey toward your surgery stays this smooth. so many of us have had such a weird bumpy trek there., WE all get there eventually though. Do you know if you'll have a short or long liquid pre-diet before your surgery? It is strange to see each surgeon has their own. favorite plan, so many different methods. Good thing for them all -they do guide us into surgery pretty smoothly. I will be happy myself when I finally get my date.[emoji14]I’m have my surgery at Cleveland clinic in Ohio. My journey has been very bumpy, crazy. I’m super excited it’s coming up soon. I have to do the long diet 2weeks liquid diet. SUCKSSSSSSS LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brightfaith 187 Posted April 16, 2018 I also have to do 2 weeks of the liver-shrinking diet. I start in four days and got all of my Protein Shakes today. I’m feeling good about everything and looking forward to May 3rd. Hoping that the liver-shrinking diet is manageable. Good luck to everyone! 1 Divadee06 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ewms 57 Posted April 16, 2018 Day 4 of my pre-op diet. The prepackaged Protein Soups, protein Oatmeals, protein pancakes, and protein hot chocolate are not good but I'm staying strong. I'm allowed Jello, broth, sugar free popsicles, and ONE AMAZING PROTEIN candy BAR daily. Yes, it's only day 4 but I live for that bar each day. They taste like real food. On the other hand, I'm getting over 100oz of fluids daily. And I've lost 7lbs in these 4 days. Go Me! 17 (almost 16) days until surgery!!! I am so excited!Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app 2 MsFACSTeach and Divadee06 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
